Nominations are being accepted for the fifth annual Teacher of the Year award — established by the Community Foundation of Southeastern Massachusetts in partnership with The Standard-Times — to encourage and recognize exceptional teachers in Greater New Bedford.

Any full-time, K-12 public school teacher in The Standard-Times circulation area with at least four years of experience is eligible to be nominated. And anyone — a student, a parent, another teacher or a school administrator — can nominate someone for the award.

Nominations should include specific examples of the nominee's impact on students.

The selection committee, organized by the Community Foundation, will be looking at factors such as the nominee's participation in professional development and extracurricular activities, and at evidence that the nominee's students have been successful.

All nominatons should be submitted by Dec. 10 to the Community Foundation, 63 Union St., New Bedford, MA 02740, or emailed to nharding@cfsema.org.

The Teacher of the Year will be featured on an upcoming Education page of The Standard-Times and the names of all nominees will also be listed that day.
